    Yes, you can. Actually, shearing it back a little in the summer can spur a new flush of growth and possibly a second bloom.

    The number of plants per sq.ft is normally determined by the spacing between plants. On average, sweet woodruff plants are spaced between 9 and 12 inches apart. Here is more information: http://www.penderpines.com/plant-care/flower-beds/

    These seeds germinate best following a cold period. In fact, sweet woodruff thrives in cooler areas. Normally those living in warmer climes start them indoors, placing the pots in the refrigerator for about two weeks to chill. In cooler areas, they will automatically receive this 'chill' period when directly sown outdoors. That said, in your region the seeds may not have gotten a suitable chilling beforehand, thus the germination process may take a bit longer than normal, which is usually anywhere from two to three weeks, and sometimes a little longer. Don't give up on it though - with a little patience the plant could still surprise you.

    It could have a fungus of some kind. Treat the plant with a fungicide, like neem oil, and see if this helps. Also, you may need to remove any dead growth to on and around the plant to prevent spreading.

    It could be a lack of water if the area consists of dry shade. In temps over 85 degrees F., most plants require additional watering to keep their roots cool. Without enough water, especially in high heat, your plant will suffer as yours seems to be. Additionally, anything newly planted requires more water as the roots become established.

    If a lack of watering does not seem to be the issue (for instance, if you've had an abundance of rain), then it could have a fungus of some kind. Treat the plant with a fungicide, like neem oil, and see if this helps. Also, remove any dead growth to on and around the plant.

    I am a huge fan of Sweet Woodruff, I actually added it to my own garden last year in Zone 4.
    Starting from seed is quite easy.

    Here is a link about Sweet Woodruff that will be helpful.
